BusinessEQ is an access point to labor market data for employers in Ottawa County.

The value of the access can be summarized into two main components:
(1) as a means for local firms to easily view regional labor market information, and
(2) a means for employers to communicate current and future employment shifts to regional partners such as the workforce system, allowing these partners to view the labor market impact of these events and communicate to job seekers in the region.

The labor market information available to employers includes a variety of region-specific macro and micro-economic leading and lagging indicators. BusinessEQ also allows employers to enter current and future employment demand into the system for use by jobs seekers looking to enter training programs or career paths. Through this information projected occupation gaps are modified and provide an easy-to-use modeling tool for economic and workforce developers to analyze the labor market impact of economic events in their community.
